The Art of Non-Conformity: Set Your Own Rules, Live The Life You Want, and Change The World
“Ambition is not a vice of little people.” – Michel de Montaigne
“…convergence is the state of being where everything in our lives is in alignment. We have good relationships with family and close friends, we’re excited about work, we’re in good health, we do more or less what we want to every day, and we know we’re making a difference in the world. In short, we find ourselves full of gratitude and regularly challenged in an active, abundant life. To achieve convergence, two separate (but related) activities are required: saying goodbye to unneccessary tasks, obligations, and expectations – then welcoming in a wide range of other things that enrich our lives.”
The Search for Meaning and the Two Questions
- What do you really want to get out of life?
- What can you offer the world that no one else can?
Whatever your answers to those questions are, you can likely find the beginnings of your quest to live a full life and make the world a better place for others.
Legacy Project
When you set out to create something that will outlast you, there are a number of characteristics you need to consider by answering the following questions:
- Vision – how will the world be different because of the project?
- Beneficiaries – who will benefit from the project?
- Primary Method or Medium – how will you do the work?
- Output – what will be produced as a result of your work?
- Metrics – how will success be measured?
